Deborah O'Carroll's Reviews > Mantles of Oak and Iron

I read this book last year (perks of being a copyeditor for this delightful series!) and let me tell you, all the amazingness in book one (The Orb and the Airship) only gets BETTER in this nailbiting sequel!

I loved following the further adventures of Grayden and his friends, Marik and his crew, and meeting new people as the scope of this world slowly spreads out and deepens. (Ioan, though! I love him so much! *sobs*)

If you’re looking for an adventure-packed swashbuckling adventure series with airships, pirates, and a rich fantasy world, look no further! This was one of my top-favorite reads this last year for good reason!

I adore this world, these characters, and Jenelle Leanne Schmidt’s wonderful writing, and I’m SO glad that book two of this Kickstarter-begun series is out in the world today!
